FAQ

1. Can Me Mode media be converted into regular 360 media?

This conversion is currently not supported. We will continue to optimize our products to provide you with a better experience. Thank you for your understanding and support!

2. Where can I find the Me Mode on X6? / Why the Me Mode is removed from X6?

To make the shooting features more centralized and user-friendly, the Me Mode has been merged into "InstaFrame 2.0" on X6. Following the merged feature has been adjusted on X6 as follows:

  • A new 2.35:1 aspect ratio is added.
  • A new manual framing feature is added, allowing you to select people or objects to achieve a 360° intelligent tracking effect.
  • Direct output 4K flat media is supported, and with backup enabled, you can also export 360 media at up to 8K for post-production editing.

We recommend you try using "Instaframe 2.0".
